| First 4 letters |
Well, here is the first try, I love calligraphy but as you will see, I am no calligrapher, but I love type in all it's forms and I especially love the shapes of letters. For the black and white letters I decided to use my own hand writing, scan it, and then layer it, hoping that just the shapes would carry the day. This is such a fun project and I really appreciate joining this group and look forward to getting to know you all and see your work.
Hi Liz, looks like a version of calligraphy to me! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely Liz. Simple and stylish.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie and Jo, thanks so much for the very kind words and for being so welcoming.
ReplyDeleteAn artist who loves the shapes of letters - could be a definition of a calligrapher. I feel the simplicity of your shapes has captured the rythym and immediacy of the letters perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWell done you Liz ... thanks for your works and words!
ReplyDeleteLiz- I like those huge letters. the centring is so original. and yes, I agree with Julie : you are a kind of calligrapher!
ReplyDeleteHello Gemma and Lau and Anoymous, thank-you so much with your vote of confidence, it's been a tad intimidating looking at all these real calligraphers. I just really love the shapes and run into hugh problems when I have to put the letters together into words, even spelled my own name wrong in calligraphy class in art school. Sure made sculpture an easy choice.
ReplyDeleteI love that they are recognisable but not obvious; and I love the movement of the ink/pen - such a lot of life!
